How are you celebrating Bastille Day?
With patriotic fervor, learning to knit, or making puff pastry from scratch? Vive la france.

Sitting around. Doing nothing. Alone.
A French holiday celebrating the storming of the Bastille.
Or a song by Rush, take your pick.
It’s a tradition that i watch the Tour de France on Quatorze Juillet (i watch all the stages by the way) to see if this year a French cyclist will succeed in winning this day’s stage.
They always try, they always run away from the bunch in the starting kilometers, but the last time a French man made it, if i am not mistaken, was in 2005 (David Moncoutie).
Today again it didn’t happen…, Sergio Paulinho from Portugal won it.
I too watched part of today’s stage in the Tour De France. Contador’s all set for victory number three, as I predicted. Although Schleck will test hin in the Pyrenees, I still think he’s probably got in in the bag….anyway yeah that’s what I did. Although absolutely nothing to do with the fact it was Bastille day.
@Seek_Kolinahr Their version of the 4th of July. All the same stuff. Parades, cookout, fireworks.
Sings “Allons enfants de la patrie….”
@Janbb
What are all the babies doing to the pastries?
@Seek_Kolinahr Smooshing them in their faces, their hair, the floor – you know what babies do to pastries.
For me it’s Birthday Eve. I celebrate by trying to get ahead so I can take time off tomorrow.
The local classical radio station said it was going to celebrate by playing a lot of French music today. So far I’ve heard Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto no. 5 and Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto no. 2.
@Jeruba Bonne Anniversaire demain!
* sigh *
Merci, merci, merci. <blowing kisses>
@Jeruba: Félicitations; bonne fête; certainement un jour de gloire va arrivé.
Don’t you love those Frenchmen Johannes and Sergei?
Merci beaucoup. Yes, I was bemused by the lineup, given the announcement. Those pieces are two of my favorites, but not especially Gallic.
